Hyuuga: I’m back—! Man, cats are so cute, aren’t they? It wolfed down all the fish bones I took with me. Well, it is an animal, after all. All I did was give it a little handout. Nothing more, nothing less.

Riko: Ah…ahahahaha! That’s right—! You were just having a little fun—!

Kuroko: …that was a close call. If Hyuuga-senpai were to find out that we saw him… …we just very narrowly avoided losing the captain of the Seirin basketball team.

Kiyoshi: [catches the ball with one hand] Guh—! (They weren’t kidding… Yeah, this is pretty intense.)

Furihata: Whoa…! He actually caught Kuroko’s Ignite Pass…!

Fukuda: Up until now, Kagami’s been the only one on the team who could catch it…

– –

Hyuuga: Well done! Looks like you actually managed to catch it.

Kiyoshi: Yeah, but just barely. I don’t think I could keep doing that over and over. Not yet, at least.

Hyuuga: “Not yet”, he says.

Kiyoshi: Yeah. With some practice, I think I can get good enough to catch every one that comes my way. But that’s true for all of us, not just me.

Hyuuga: Hey, now, that’s easy for you to say, but don’t you think that’s asking a little much of the rest of us?

Kiyoshi: You think so? Hey, Riko, what do you think?

Riko: Let’s see… You’re all more than capable of learning how to do it. The “Generation of Miracles” have been catching that pass since they were in middle school, right? They might have outstanding physical abilities, but you all are in high school. If we take into account the progress you’ve made, I think you should be able to make up the difference.

Hyuuga: Yeah, that makes sense. At the very least, it’s worth giving it a shot…

Riko: Yes, but to do that, we need all of you to improve your physicality.

Koganei: Wait—I think I know where she’s going with this…

Riko: It’s alright; don’t worry. I’ll make sure I work you to the bone from now on!

Koganei: Gyaaaah—! We’re screeewed!

Kiyoshi: Alright. Let’s all do our best so we can learn how to catch the Ignite Pass!

Koganei: You’d better sleep with one eye open, Kiyoshi!

Kuroko: That means I’ll have even more opportunities to practice the Ignite Pass. Let’s do our best, everyone!

Koganei: But he’d be lonely holding down the fort back at school all by himself! I thought maybe he could come enjoy the training camp with us, instead!

Riko: I told you to find somebody to watch him!

Koganei: I tried to! But when I went to drop him off, he gave me those big, sad puppy-dog eyes! [cue crocodile tears] And once he did that…I just…couldn’t help myself!

Riko: You should’ve known better than to bring him here! Ugh, honestly, what are we supposed to do now…? For the time being, let’s go see the owners of the boardinghouse and ask if it’s alright for us to keep Nigou here. I want you to come with me, Koganei-kun, so you can help me ask for permission.

Koganei: Nigou~! You need to do your part, too…

Nigou: Woof!

Kuroko: It looks like we’ve added an unexpected member to our roster.

Kagami: Huh? Oh, yeah…

Kuroko: Are you still afraid of Nigou?

Kagami: Nah, I’m not really afraid of Nigou. Other dogs are a different story, though.

Hyuuga: This’s the yearbook photo with the entire “Generation of Miracles”, but we can’t find Kuroko in the picture!

Riko: Right…

Koganei: Don’t you think it’s kind of ridiculous that we still haven’t found him?

Izuki: Kuroko, are you sure you’re in this picture?

Kuroko: I should be, but…

Kagami: Could you try to sound a little more confident about that, please?!

Tsuchida: It’s starting to seem like he’s some sort of paranormal phenomenon…

Koganei: Whaaat~? Kuroko’s actually a ghost?!

Hyuuga: Just who do you think you’ve been playing basketball with this whole time?!

Kiyoshi: What?! Koga, Kuroko’s really a ghost?!

Hyuuga: Oh, crap. You just had to go and get him started…

Riko: Sorry to rain on your parade, but…isn’t this him right here?

Izuki: Hm? Between Aomine and Midorima…

Koganei: …if ya look real close, there’s somebody behind them?

Hyuuga: It looks like he’s hiding, so it’s hard to tell, but…

Kagami: This is you, isn’t it, Kuroko?

Kuroko: Oh, I just remembered. Everyone had already lined up by the time I arrived, so I didn’t have anywhere to stand. Then, while I was busy searching for an opening somewhere, they took the picture…

Kagami: So that’s why it looks like you’re hiding behind those two taller guys, huh…

Izuki: I know all’s well that ends well, but still…

Hyuuga: We finally found him~! Good work, everybody!

Tsuchida: I have to say, I had my doubts at first.

Mitobe: …………

Koganei: It feels like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders~!
